Now that I have, in my mind completed a major restructuring of this novel project, I need to sit back and reflect some. I need to figure out different character’s motivation. I need to make sure all my names are consistent.
I think the issue of motivation — now that I have figured out how I could potentially try to sell a trilogy with two books waiting in the wings — that is going to be at the forefront of my mind for the time being. I have a much better handle on things than I did.
Everything works so much better now that I’ve split the first book in two. There are some structure issues within the first two books that I continue to struggle with, but over all, I’m rip roaring and ready to go.
I continue to hope I can use the last few weeks of the year to some of the reading I should have done years ago. But I do think, barring more freak accidents, injuries, tooth aches or whatever, that things should move far, far faster in January. I really have a far better sense of things than I did just a few days ago.
Now to build out characters, plot and motivation under the new division of books in the over all project. I have, essentially added another book to an already massive undertaking, but lulz, that’s what I wanted when I started all of this.
